My DH doesn't care if I buy fabric. Every time we go to town, he asks me if I want to go to the fabric store. A few weeks ago I bought a La Reine treadle machine at a yard sale for $50.00. When he got home I went running to him with open arms, give him a big Hug & Kiss & said I sure love you. He said OK, what did I but you this time? He was tickled to bring the machine in for me. He knew I had wanted a treadle for years.
